Request Arkansas solar quotes
Ready to compare Arkansas prices?
Enter your ZIP code to ask solar providers that serve your area for quotes. Compare each quote with the checklist below.
Solar providers that serve your area may contact you, and they pay EcoGen for the introduction. Providers can include installers, solar marketplaces and lead exchanges, and more than one may contact you. How we make money.
Need to know
- We rated 9 Arkansas solar companies on licensing, warranties, local presence, track record and options. The top three: Solar Alternatives (3.5, Good), Sun City Solar Energy (3, Average) and Stitt Solar (3, Average).
- New Arkansas systems earn the utility’s avoided cost for exported power, 3.34 cents per kWh at Entergy Arkansas through February 2027, while power you use at home saves the full rate. Size the system for your own use.
- Arkansas has no solar license. The wiring must be done by electricians licensed by the Board of Electrical Examiners, and a company doing more than $2,000 of work on your home needs an ACLB license.
What solar costs in Arkansas
Prices are gross, before incentives; there is no federal residential credit for systems you own, and Arkansas allows solar leases but not residential PPAs. Batteries and roof work cost extra. Compare each quote’s price per watt with these numbers.
Source: EcoGen Solar Cost Index, September 2026 Edition, prices as of September 25, 2026. Full breakdown: Arkansas solar panel prices.
Solar incentives, tax breaks and rebates in Arkansas
- Export credit
- Entergy Arkansas credits power you send to the grid at 3.34 cents per kWh for March 2026 through February 2027. The figure resets each March.

Who qualifies, deadlines and sources: Arkansas solar incentives.
What to check with your utility
Entergy Arkansas
- New systems earn 3.34 cents per kWh for exports (Rate Schedule No. 71, March 2026 to February 2027). It was 2.47 cents the year before.
- A one-time fee of $196.75, plus any study or grid work your connection needs.
- The credit is in dollars and carries forward, with no year-end payout or expiry, but it cannot pay the monthly customer charge.
First Electric Cooperative
- Exports from systems installed after September 29, 2024 earn avoided cost. The co-op does not post the figure; its supplier last posted 2.89 cents per kWh, from March 1, 2025.
- A one-time $320 fee must be paid before the system connects.
- Home systems are capped at 25 kW and at 100% of your highest monthly use in the past 12 months.
Ozarks Electric and other co-ops
- Exports earn avoided cost based on the prior year's filing. Ask for this year's figure in writing.
- Ozarks Electric says unused credits roll over and apply only to the energy part of the bill.
- A one-time fee applies. Ozarks Electric does not post the amount.
SWEPCO, OG&E and city utilities
- SWEPCO credits 3.656 cents per kWh for March 2026 to February 2027 and charges a $175 one-time review fee. OG&E and city utilities set or file their own terms. Do not accept the Entergy Arkansas figure in a quote for these areas.
- City utilities such as North Little Rock, Conway and Bentonville may set a lower size limit for home systems.
Check the company and its warranty
Three names can appear in one solar deal: the company that sells, the company that signs the contract and the licensed people who do the work. Check that they fit together.
- Contract company: look up its license on the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board (ACLB) contractor license: home improvement, residential remodeler or residential builder for work over $2,000 on a single-family home. Electricians are licensed by the Arkansas Board of Electrical Examiners.. The name must match your contract.
- Electrical connection: Wiring a solar system into your panel is electrical work, which Ark. Code § 17-28-304 limits to electricians licensed by the Arkansas Board of Electrical Examiners (https://labor.arkansas.gov/wp-content/uploads/BOEE-2025-Statutes.pdf), and a contractor doing more than $2,000 of work on a single-family home needs an ACLB license (https://labor.arkansas.gov/licensing/arkansas-contractors-licensing-board/apply-for-contractors-license-registration/). Ask who does it.
- Warranty documents: ask for the workmanship warranty, the roof coverage terms and each equipment warranty before you sign.
Before your first sales call, read questions to ask your solar installer and how to read a solar quote.
Compare your Arkansas quotes
Ask every company to quote the same basics. Then the differences you see are real.
From quote to permission to operate
Some steps overlap, and timing depends on your town, your utility and equipment supply. Ask each installer for a written schedule for your project.
Proposal and site check
The installer looks at your roof, shading and electrical panel and gives you a written proposal.
You and the installerDesign and applications
After you sign, the installer finishes the design and applies to your utility for the connection.
Installer; you sign the formsPermits and utility review
Your town or county reviews the building and electrical permits. The utility reviews the connection.
Permit office and utilityInstallation and inspection
The crew installs the system. A licensed electrician connects it, and the inspector checks the work.
Installer crew, electrician and inspectorPermission to operate
The utility approves the system and updates your meter if needed. Turn the system on only after this step.

How we rate Arkansas solar companies
Each company gets up to 100 points from facts anyone can check: its own website and Arkansas’s public license records, read October 14, 2026. Facts a company does not publish earn no points. We could not check Arkansas’s license records for these companies yet, so none of them gets points for a checked state license. No company pays for its rating, and we do not use customer star reviews.
- Licensing (30 points): an active state license, a licensed electrician and license numbers printed on its website.
- Warranty protection (35 points): workmanship warranty length, roof-penetration coverage in writing and any production guarantee.
- Local presence (15 points): an office in Arkansas and Arkansas named as a service area.
- Track record (10 points): years installing solar.
- Options (10 points): batteries and the number of ways to pay.
Stars: 85 points or more is 5 (Top-rated), 72 is 4.5 (Excellent), 60 is 4 (Very good), 45 is 3.5 (Good), below 45 is 3 (Average). We did not inspect installations, collect customer quotes or test customer service.
Arkansas solar company FAQs
How do I check an Arkansas solar installer?
Ask for the company’s Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board license number and look it up in the board’s contractor search. Work over $2,000 on a single-family home needs an ACLB license. The wiring must be done by electricians licensed by the Board of Electrical Examiners. Then read the written workmanship warranty.
Does Arkansas still have net metering?
Yes, in a new form. Systems with paperwork submitted before September 30, 2024 keep one-for-one credits until June 1, 2040. Newer systems pay the normal rate for power they take and get a dollar credit at avoided cost for power they send out: 3.34 cents per kWh at Entergy Arkansas through February 2027. Leftover credit rolls to the next bill, with no year-end payout or expiry.
Can I lease solar panels in Arkansas?
Yes. Arkansas allows solar leases but not residential PPAs. A leased system can get the same bill credit, and Entergy Arkansas asks for a signed form confirming the lease follows state rules. Compare the total cost of a lease with a cash or loan quote before you sign.
Is there an Arkansas solar tax credit or rebate?
No. Form AR1000TC for 2025 lists no solar credit, and we found no state or utility rebate for home solar panels or batteries. The federal credit ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. Sales tax applies at the 6.5% state rate plus local taxes, so ask whether your quote includes it.
Will the companies on this page contact me?
Not because they appear here. This page is an editorial comparison. If you request quotes, the providers that serve your area may contact you. They can include installers, marketplaces and lead exchanges. Our page on how we make money explains how EcoGen is paid.
